For the past few months Tyrese Gibson has been terrorizing his Fast and Furious co-star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson for his decision to accept a Fast and Furious spin-off [click here if you missed that].
Tyrese explains, in detail, what set him off...
Tyrese tells The Ed Lover Show,
"I want people to know that me and Ludacris was offered a spin-off long before Dwayne and Jason and I turned it down because the Fast and Furious is not about us individually."
"Everything about the multi ethnic cast, the fact that I stand on the shoulders of Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Paul Walker... it ain't my franchise and it's not his. So for any of us to take the liberty, in my opinion, to go and say you can offer me a bag of money, you can put my name on a script and just make it about me individually, to me, that comprises the integrity of what the Fast and The Furious is about."Comes in at the 5:39 point.
Can someone please explain to Tyrese that he, like The Rock, should have taken his spin-off when it was offered because the people who finance these movies don't give a got damn about of the lofty ideals he just spouted off, just the bottom line.
Thanks.
